Interestingly, the Wikipedia article doesn't mention Canada as an operator of the SS11. In 4CMBG, in the 1965-68 timeframe, there was a brigade anti-tank company which was equipped with the SS11. It was manned by 3 R22eR and was located at Fort Anne (I believe) at Werl. They were a brigade asset and would often appear in your unit area unannounced, and set up wherever they pleased. Sometimes it could be quite annoying because their requirements vis-a-vis fields of fire, camouflage, etc were different than those of an infantry company. We were always glad to see them move on.
